Support young people aged 16–21 in a supported accommodation service in Dagenham, helping care leavers and young parents to gain the independent-living skills they need. This permanent Support Worker role is paid at £13.00–£14.00 per hour plus sleep-in payments, with pension provision, healthcare support and ongoing training.
